(Correspondent Wang Hao) On the morning of October 23, the School of Foreign Languages held its 17th Enlarged Meeting of the 2025 Party Committee Theoretical Study Center Group in Conference Room 308, focusing on the topic of strengthening professional ethics and conduct of teachers. The meeting, chaired by Party Secretary Wang Huoli, was attended by members of the School’s Party and Communist Youth League Committees, organizational coordinators, and Party branches secretaries.

In his concluding remarks, Wang Huoli outlined four key points on strengthening the faculty's professional ethics and conduct. The first is to address this matter consistently and integrate it into daily routines. This should be achieved by making full use of various platforms—including Party member meetings, faculty political theory study sessions, teaching and research seminars—to strengthen educational guidance for faculty members and ensure sustained and relentless efforts.

Secondly, efforts to strengthen professional ethics and conduct must be integrated throughout the entire teaching and student development process. Theoretical concepts of professional ethics should be closely linked with the concrete practices of teaching and nurturing students. The requirements for faculty conduct must be genuinely reflected in tangible talent cultivation efforts and truly embraced by teachers in both mindset and conduct.

Thirdly, a approach that combines positive guidance with lessons from negative cases must be adopted. To ensure effectiveness, faculty should be guided to champion the spirit of educators, conscientiously abide by the Ten Guidelines on Professional Conduct of Teachers in Higher Education in the New Era, and strive to become good teachers with the “four qualities” in the new era. Simultaneously, typical cases of professional ethics violations should be studied and analyzed to serve as cautionary tales, enabling faculty to learn profound lessons and fortify their ideological and moral defenses.

Fourth, it is essential to combine self-discipline with regulation by laws, as this integration is the key to strengthening professional ethics and conduct. Faculty must not only consciously comply with all relevant laws, regulations, and institutional policies but also commit to the sustained cultivation of their own ethical standards. They must hold themselves to high standards in both personal conduct and scholarly work, consistently using the ideal of "Learn to be an Excellent Teacher; Act as an Exemplary Person" to measure their words and deeds.

At the meeting, Chen Shang, Secretary of the Second Party Branch of the Faculty, and Li Min, Secretary of the Fifth Party Branch of Students, shared their experiences and insights on the study and development of professional ethics among teachers, drawing from their practical work. Participants engaged in in-depth discussions and exchanges on the theme of “how to integrate the development of professional ethics into all aspects of the college’s work.”

The meeting included a collective screening of the documentary series “The Spirit of Educators” and arranged for full-time teachers to sign the "Wuhan Institute of Technology Professional Ethics Commitment Pledge.”

This meeting effectively consolidated the consensus within the college’s Party organization on strengthening the development of professional ethics, clarified the approaches and measures for firmly advancing this work, and provided solid ideological assurance for continuously fostering a positive educational environment and achieving the college”s high-quality development goals.
